stephanie fessler v watch tower.
stephanie fessler was brought up as a jehovah’s witness by her parents, jodee and kevin.
To BA reporting, I find this a bit off-putting.
The Trial is expected to last 5 or 6 days and John Redwood from JW Survey will be reporting on the developments each day.
John Redwood is not a journalist - that is a pseudonym, and really, if it's Lloyd Evans, or some other person who is reporting developments, should we not know who they are? Why the fake name?
I don't like this obfuscation, Barbara. We need to be transparent. Completely.

darkspilver, you said
Yes, exactly - and I understand that breaking the mandatory reporting laws is a criminal offense? - therefore why doesn't the State of Pennsylvania, who wrote the law, prosecute when the criminal law is broken? Maybe they have? I'm just going by what's been reported - or not - in this case.
Indeed.
This is another example of authorities paying lip service to the protection of children, but not following through with prosecution. I see law enforcement as especially lax when not charging teachers, clergy and others who are charged with caring for children, knew of the abuse, and failed to report. Failure to report is a *crime* in Canada. Maybe Orphan Crow has some stats on this, or another poster. I was unable to find instances where adults were charged with 'failure to report' in Canada.
(edit: sorry, the format's a bit messed up)

LOL .... Simon.............. shadow banning? really? so sad.
Well, that's sad. That's all I have to say. *waves* Hi, Bohm, can't PM .. sorry. x
it seems like mobilizing after the election, which seems pointless.
i keep hearing demands for equal rights but don't understand what rights they are missing exactly.. normally a march is to show the support (and potential votes) for a cause, but ... votes for what?
... and the election happened already.. is anyone else confused?
nic, I saw your post on the first page of this thread. THUMBS UP! :)
Edit: to bohm: We agree. OMG, that is so weird, after all these years, but I like it. xx

Glenster - just signed in to say 'goodbye' to a legend.
As a young child, I remember her saying "Oh, Dick!". As a 20-something, I remember her throwing her hat in the air, and her wonderful friend, Phyllis.
An icon, for sure. RIP beautiful lady, who championed her cause (alcoholism), was an amazing comedienne, and the best since Lucy.
The best of the MTM show would be, for many fans, the "Chuckles the Clown" episode. I leave you with this. x
schulz and de vienne [ https://www.amazon.com/separate-identity-organizational-readers-1870-1887/dp/1304969401 ] continue to work on volume 2 of their book.
you can see a partial version of a chapter on expectations for 1881 on their blog.
it's rough draft.
Hi there. I got your message (my PM function doesn't work, can't reply), and thanks so much, that's perfect. I appreciate your help. Take care. x
now, the war is over, the weapons were not used and of course have not been found.. how threatening could they be if they did not even use them when being invaded by a massive force (of the countries they hate)?!
perhaps, as many suspect, they didn't use them because they didn't have them?.
now we're being told that we'll have to be patient and give them time to find them.
In 2004, almost a year after the start of the Iraq War, David Kay resigned his post as the United States' chief weapons inspector in Iraq. Kay said his group had found no evidence that Iraq had stockpiled chemical and biological weapons before the U.S.-led invasion. His findings were at odds with assertions from the Bush administration at the time. Host Liane Hansen talks with Kay about the conflict in Iraq since then.

have a safe and happy holiday!.

just fine
There are times I get that tear in my eye, too. I feel eternally grateful to be born Canadian - hey, I did nothing to earn it, no pride here - just gratitude. I love my 'Muricans, too.
You're so right .. we are lucky, and I happily kiss the ground and hug the trees of My Canada. ! xx

BOC, Happy Fourth!
We celebrated Canada Day last week, and though I'm almost a 'senior', the fireworks still thrill me. I'm spellbound by them, like a little kid. : )
For Americans, I understand it is a *big deal*, and I don't mean that sarcastically. National pride is not that important to people from many other cultures - we just . don't . get it. That being said ...
Have a great Independence Day - I'm sure it has symbolic undertones of your freedom from the Cult, and your right as an American, to be proud of your heritage.
(my emoticons aren't working, but picture the party one! haha... : )
just finished a walk today i came onto a happy family group of all the generations celebrating a tiny ones birthday.
they all sang ..happy birthday and i sang with my bass baritone the chorus, .."why was she born so beautiful why was she born at all.." silly words but they are happy words.
the family cheered their pleasure at this outsider joining in.
Zeb, you're welcome. I took that pic and thought you might like it. Since I was a kid, my dream was to go to Australia. My PM function doesn't work, so I could not reply to your message. Take care, my friend, I will always treasure the support you have given me and many others. Always in my heart, my friend, Zeb. xx
